Homeopathy in a reputable medical journal. retired doc and Dr. RW do not approve:
The Journal does a disservice to its readers when it presents a homeopathic jargon filled discussion as if a scientific discussion is taking place. There was no editorial explaining the reasoning behind publishing such an article. One of the characteristics of science is its coherence.The sciences of pharmacology,physiology and toxicology build upon and are consistent with the laws of chemistry and physics. To talk about diluting a substance to the point where it is undetectable and then explaining how it works to heal flies in the face of the principles of those disciplines.
